Running in a VM does not work for my situation. There are somethings that I need to do that just won't work well in a VM. Getting the Windows boot loader to launch Linux seems to be the solution, but getting that setup on an existing dualboot scenario with Grub already on the MBR seems to more work than it's worth. As much as I don't want to, I think I'm just going to rebuild my system.

I have an HP EliteBook 8460p that is currently running dual boot Window 7 and Linux Mint 16. This laptop does have a TPM chip. This is a work laptop and I am required to have Bitlocker setup on Windows. I have done some Googling and all the solutions I have found are for setting up a new system, nothing on setting up Bitlocker for an already existing dual boot configuration. I'd really like to avoid rebuilding my system. Has anybody been able to pull this off or have any tips for me?<br />

Thanks!

Bitlocker Setup on Dual Boot Win7 and Linux Mint 16 with TPM

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
